What Benefits Admin Actually Costs You
Sources: U.S. Department of Labor, COBRA continuation coverage and isolved benefits research and client results.
How It Works
Answer five questions about your team, your carriers, and what you want handled. Your monthly estimate appears on screen and lands in your inbox. No demo gate, no sales call required to see a number.
We review your answers, confirm the right plan, loop in what your broker already covers, and turn your estimate into exact pricing. Setup works back from your next open enrollment date.
Plans set up, employees enrolling themselves with AI guidance, deductions syncing to payroll, ACA forms produced. On the top plan, a dedicated specialist and auditing analyst run it all for you.
Three Plans
Every plan includes everything below it. The estimate form shows your monthly range for all three; exact pricing is confirmed on your call.
Enrollment, self-served
Enrollment plus ACA handled
A dedicated team runs it

What Makes This Different
Common objection: "Our broker handles benefits, I do not want to blow up that relationship."
BEG does not sell insurance and does not compete with your broker. Your broker keeps advising you, negotiating renewals, and placing coverage. What moves to us is the operational load behind those plans: enrollment, changes, data, and compliance. Most brokers are glad someone finally owns it.
Common objection: "Every benefits administration site makes me sit through a demo just to hear a price."
The category hides pricing behind sales processes. BEG shows you a real monthly estimate on screen in about 90 seconds, then confirms exact pricing on one 15-minute call. You decide whether the numbers are worth a conversation, not the other way around.
Common objection: "The last benefits pitch wanted to move us onto their master plans through co-employment."
PEOs bundle benefits administration inside co-employment: they become the employer of record and your people move onto their plans. BEG Managed Benefits administers the plans you and your broker already chose. You stay the employer, the coverage stays yours, and leaving never requires an unwind.
How It Compares
| Factor | BEG Managed Benefits | Ben-Admin Software Alone | Traditional TPA | PEO |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who does the admin work | A dedicated team, or software with our backup | Your team, in the tool | Their back office | Their back office |
| Your broker | Stays, we work alongside | Stays | Sometimes displaced | Usually displaced |
| Your benefit plans | Stay yours | Stay yours | Stay yours | Replaced by PEO master plans |
| Who employs your staff | You do | You do | You do | Co-employment: the PEO does |
| Pricing visibility | Instant on-screen estimate | Published software rates | Quote-gated | Quote-gated, percent of payroll |
| ACA and filings | Tracked and produced for you | Extra modules, your work | Included, scope varies | Included |
| Payroll connection | Same platform as BEG managed payroll | Integration project | File feeds | Their payroll only |
| Leaving | Stop the service | Export and rebuild | Contract unwind | Painful co-employment unwind |

The Rest of the Stack
BEG's core service is fully managed payroll: every cycle, filing, and W-2 handled at $25-$45 per employee per month, in your existing system. Benefits and payroll run on the same data, so deductions stop breaking.
Handbooks, leave administration, compliance alerts, and a dedicated HR pro live in HR outsourcing. Benefits administration handles the plans; HR outsourcing handles the people questions around them.
If your team runs benefits internally and needs better software, isolved HCM puts payroll, HR, talent acquisition, and benefits enrollment on one platform.
Questions
Benefits administration is the operational work behind employee benefits: plan setup, open enrollment, life-event changes, carrier updates, eligibility tracking, and compliance filings like ACA forms, handled in one system instead of spreadsheets.
No. Your broker keeps advising you and placing your coverage. BEG Managed Benefits handles the administration behind those plans: enrollment, data, changes, and compliance. Brokers usually welcome it.
A monthly per-employee cost that lands far below one internal admin hire. Answer five questions in the estimate form and your monthly range appears on screen; exact pricing is confirmed on your discovery call.
No. A PEO takes over as employer of record through co-employment and replaces your benefits plans with theirs. BEG Managed Benefits administers the plans you already chose while you stay the employer.
A dedicated Managed Benefits Specialist runs enrollment, changes, and carrier updates for you, and a Benefits Auditing Analyst checks your data for errors. Open enrollment is handled start to finish.
